What Was Your Canopy Downsizing Progression?

Recommended Posts

My progression was rather conservative with about 650 jumps to date. But I've developed good canopy skills and still learning all the time. What are other jumpers downsizing progression? Mine is as follows:
Manta 288
SharpChuter 245
Cruiselite 245
Fury 220
Excalibur 190
PD 190
Sabre 170
-Rap
p.s. It would be interesting to know how many jumps you all did it in and maybe your wingloading on the canopy you currently fly. Like I said I did it in 650 jumps and currently load my Sabre 170 at 1.45.

I have jumped many other 135's (stiletto, nitron, saphire, sabre) and a few 120's (Stiletto, Extreme FX). I plan on staying with the cobalt for at least another 300-500 jumps.

i'm jumping the current canopy at 1.5 wing, i have intentions of downsizing into a stilleto, or a spectre 150 within the next 100 jumps, that'll put me loaded at 1.7, which is where i'll be for another 100 jumps or so, then i'll go to canopy control and learn how to screw myself into the ground!
